Order Bright Sun Candles

Welcome to Bright Sun Candles.  We create soy candles of excellent quality and ingredients, that are also naturally beautiful and environmentally friendly.
 
Bright Sun Candles are hand-poured in Saint Paul, Minnesota from the wax of American-grown soybeans.  Our candles are scented with only essential oils.  We use no artificial scents and no dyes or artificial colors.  Like all soy candles, our candles are clean & long-burning and made from a natural wax that is a sustainable resource.
 
We invite you to experience the natural beauty of Bright Sun Candles.

Sincerely,

Megan & Adam Tetz

Eucalyptus is a subtle camphor smelling oil.  It is invigorating, penetrating and cleansing and helps support healthy immune and respiratory systems.

 
Green Home Living Tip
  
Most people know that paper, cans and plastic bottles are recyclable. We're always looking for other sources to recycle more "unusual" items, like the ones listed below:
  
Plastic Bottle Caps
Did you know that if you leave the cap on the plastic bottle, it usually CAN'T be recycled? Bottle caps are usually made with a different type of plastic and need to be sorted and handled seperately. Collect your bottle caps and bring to an Aveda store or Whole Foods will also take caps made from #5 plastic (most are #5). Visit www.earth911.com for other places to drop off these forgotten recyclable items. 
  
Empty Pill Bottles
Empty pill and medicine bottles can pile up quickly and they usually can't be recycled curbside. But save and wash these clever bottles and donate them to your local Humane Society! Vets reuse these handy bottles for their furry patients. Homeless shelters or other nonprofit organizations will also sometimes take these items, to help get medicine safely to those who need it.
  
Also, check out this website for great ideas on reusing these clever little bottles around the house.
Come see us at upcoming events!
